About This Home

As of July 2021

Custom designed for the current owner by Dinyar Wadia, this elegant European style cottage exudes the residential architecture of distinction he is renowned for. Masterfully capturing the light through the placement of the windows and doors, this 6,200 square foot home invites the outside to come inside. The home was designed to allow entertaining to flow uninterrupted throughout the house as well as extend onto the various porches off all the first level rooms. High quality custom moldings, solid wood doors and paneled rooms define the bespoke feeling of this home. The updated kitchen with an oversized island is adjacent to a cheerful breakfast nook. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, and a private sitting room. The one bedroom apartment/office over the garage has a separate entrance and the fully finished basement is an entertainer's dream with fireplace, exercise room, full bath, laundry and a bar! Beautifully sited on a 2 acre parcel with a pond and professionally designed gardens, this home is located just 2 miles from the heart of the New Canaan village!
